About

A magical, musical panto adventure for the whole family!

Following the huge success of our 2026 musical Sister Act, which received rave reviews and an incredible response from audiences, BOLT Academy is back on stage - and this time, we’re heading to Panto Land!

Climb aboard the magic carpet and get ready for a hilarious, high-energy adventure packed with show-stopping songs, brilliant choreography, colourful characters, spectacular costumes and plenty of good old-fashioned panto madness

Meet Aladdin, a big-hearted dreamer who finds himself thrown into the adventure of a lifetime when a mysterious magic lamp falls into his hands. With the help of the fabulous Jenny from the Lamp, his larger-than-life mum Wishee Washee, and his wonderfully chaotic friends, Aladdin must navigate magic, mayhem and maybe even a little romance as he tries to win the heart of Princess Jasmine.

But standing in his way is the wicked Abanaza, who has plans of his own for that all-important lamp! Alongside his trusty - if not particularly helpful - sidekick Iago the Parrot, Abanaza will stop at nothing to get his hands on it.

With villains plotting, the palace in turmoil, a magic carpet ready for take-off and plenty of surprises along the way, Aladdin and his friends are going to need all the help they can get - and that includes YOU, the audience!

Expect huge musical numbers, laugh-out-loud comedy, plenty of local Keighley references, audience participation and all the panto traditions you know and love.

Oh yes you will!
